as far as I understand when you bridge an amp it acutally reads half of the resistance, right ? so my question is if I have a parallel connection of 2 amps with x ohms each the total resistance ( in the parallel connection ) is X / 2 , so if these subs are then connected to a bridge amp the amp will see half of the total resistance ( x/ 4) ? --------------------  |

you mean parallel connection of two subs or woofers? but if thats what you meant then yes.... if you have two 8ohm subs (SVC) and they are wired parellel to each other... than total resistance is 4ohms seen by the amp (be aware this method only work for 2 subs.... 3 or more you have to use the full formula....) and if you then bridge this... the amp reads it as being a 2ohm load... but when you are looking at the amps specs... you want BRIDGED 4 OHMS
